Self-regulated catalysis for the selective synthesis of primary amines from carbonyl compounds
Most current processes for the general synthesis of primary amines by reductive amination are performed with enormously excessive amounts of hazardous ammonia. It remains unclear how catalysts should be designed to regulate amination reaction dynamics at a low ammonia-to-substrate ratio for the quantitative synthesis of primary amines from the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Herein we show a facile control of the reaction selectivity in the layered boron nitride supported ruthenium catalyzed reductive amination reaction. Specifically, locating ruthenium to the edge surface of layered boron nitride leads to an increased hydrogenation activity owing to the enhanced interfacial electronic effects between ruthenium and the edge surface of boron nitride. This enables self-accelerated reductive amination reactions which quantitatively synthesize structurally diverse primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with twofold ammonia.

Nitrile Synthesis by Aerobic Oxidation of Primary Amines and in situ Generated Imines from Aldehydes and Ammonium Salt with Grubbs Catalyst
Herein, a Grubbs-catalyzed route for the synthesis of nitriles via the aerobic oxidation of primary amines is reported. This reaction accommodates a variety of substrates, including simple primary amines, sterically hindered β,β-disubstituted amines, allylamine, benzylamines, and α-amino esters. Reaction compatibility with various functionalities is also noted, particularly with alkenes, alkynes, halogens, esters, silyl ethers, and free hydroxyl groups. The nitriles were also synthesized via the oxidation of imines generated from aldehydes and NH4OAc in situ. (Figure presented.).

Ultra-small cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly-defined Co-salen complexes for catalytic synthesis of amines
We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.

Ambient-Temperature Synthesis of Primary Amines via Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
Efficient synthesis of primary amines via low-temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds using NH3 and H2 as the nitrogen and hydrogen resources is highly desired and challenging in the chemistry community. Herein, we employed naturally occurring phytic acid as a renewable precursor to fabricate titanium phosphate (TiP)-supported Ru nanocatalysts with different reduction degrees of RuO2 (Ru/TiP-x, x represents the reduction temperature) by combining ball milling and molten-salt processes. Very interestingly, the obtained Ru/TiP-100 had good catalytic performance for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds at ambient temperature, resulting from the synergistic cooperation of the support (TiP) and the Ru/RuO2 with a suitable proportion of Ru0 (52%). Various carbonyl compounds could be efficiently converted into the corresponding primary amines with high yields. More importantly, the conversion of other substrates with reducible groups could also be achieved at ambient temperature. Detailed investigations indicated that the partially reduced Ru and the support (TiP) were indispensable. The high activity and selectivity of Ru/TiP-100 catalyst originates from the relatively high acidity and the suitable electron density of metallic Ru0.

The Synthesis of Primary Amines through Reductive Amination Employing an Iron Catalyst
The reductive amination of ketones and aldehydes by ammonia is a highly attractive method for the synthesis of primary amines. The use of catalysts, especially reusable catalysts, based on earth-abundant metals is similarly appealing. Here, the iron-catalyzed synthesis of primary amines through reductive amination was realized. A broad scope and a very good tolerance of functional groups were observed. Ketones, including purely aliphatic ones, aryl–alkyl, dialkyl, and heterocyclic, as well as aldehydes could be converted smoothly into their corresponding primary amines. In addition, the amination of pharmaceuticals, bioactive compounds, and natural products was demonstrated. Many functional groups, such as hydroxy, methoxy, dioxol, sulfonyl, and boronate ester substituents, were tolerated. The catalyst is easy to handle, selective, and reusable and ammonia dissolved in water could be employed as the nitrogen source. The key is the use of a specific Fe complex for the catalyst synthesis and an N-doped SiC material as catalyst support.

A State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient and General Nitrile Hydrogenation
Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

A cobalt phosphide catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitriles
The study of metal phosphide catalysts for organic synthesis is rare. We present, for the first time, a well-defined nano-cobalt phosphide (nano-Co2P) that can serve as a new class of catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. While earth-abundant metal catalysts for nitrile hydrogenation generally suffer from air-instability (pyrophoricity), low activity and the need for harsh reaction conditions, nano-Co2P shows both air-stability and remarkably high activity for the hydrogenation of valeronitrile with an excellent turnover number exceeding 58000, which is over 20- to 500-fold greater than that of those previously reported. Moreover, nano-Co2P efficiently promotes the hydrogenation of a wide range of nitriles, which include di- and tetra-nitriles, to the corresponding primary amines even under just 1 bar of H2 pressure, far milder than the conventional reaction conditions. Detailed spectroscopic studies reveal that the high performance of nano-Co2P is attributed to its air-stable metallic nature and the increase of the d-electron density of Co near the Fermi level by the phosphidation of Co, which thus leads to the accelerated activation of both nitrile and H2. Such a phosphidation provides a promising method for the design of an advanced catalyst with high activity and stability in highly efficient and environmentally benign hydrogenations. This journal is

Scope and limitations of reductive amination catalyzed by half-sandwich iridium complexes under mild reaction conditions
The conversion of aldehydes and ketones to 1° amines could be promoted by half-sandwich iridium complexes using ammonium formate as both the nitrogen and hydride source. To optimize this method for green chemical synthesis, we tested various carbonyl substrates in common polar solvents at physiological temperature (37 °C) and ambient pressure. We found that in methanol, excellent selectivity for the amine over alcohol/amide products could be achieved for a broad assortment of carbonyl-containing compounds. In aqueous media, selective reduction of carbonyls to 1° amines was achieved in the absence of acids. Unfortunately, at Ir catalyst concentrations of 1 mM in water, reductive amination efficiency dropped significantly, which suggest that this catalytic methodology might be not suitable for aqueous applications where very low catalyst concentration is required (e.g., inside living cells).

Nitrogen-Doped Carbon-Supported Nickel Nanoparticles: A Robust Catalyst to Bridge the Hydrogenation of Nitriles and the Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds for the Synthesis of Primary Amines
An efficient method was developed for the synthesis of primary amines either from the hydrogenation of nitriles or reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The reactions were catalyzed by nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (MC)-supported nickel nanoparticles (abbreviated as MC/Ni). The MC/Ni catalyst demonstrated high catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitriles into primary amines in high yields (81.9–99 %) under mild reaction conditions (80 °C and 2.5 bar H2). The MC/Ni catalyst also promoted the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of primary amines at 80 °C and 1 bar H2. The hydrogenation of nitriles and the reductive amination proceeded through the same intermediates for the generation of the primary amines. To the best of our knowledge, no other heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts have been reported for the synthesis of primary amines under mild conditions, both from the hydrogenation of nitriles and reductive amination.

Preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon supported cobalt catalysts and its application in the reductive amination
The use of non-noble metal catalysts with high activity is of great importance for organic transformations. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon supported cobalt catalysts with high surface area up to 981.2 m2/g were prepared via the simple pyrolysis of cobalt coordinated organic polymers with silica as the hard template. The pyrolysis temperature showed a great effect on the structure and properties of the as-prepared catalysts. The Co@NC-800 catalyst with the pyrolysis temperature of 800 °C demonstrated a high activity for the selective reductive amination of carbonyl compounds to primary amines with ammonia and hydrogen. Structurally-diverse primary amines with yields in the range from 81.8% to 100% were attained under the optimal conditions. The Co@NC-800 catalyst could be reused without the loss of its activity. The Co@NC-800 catalyst demonstrated comparable activity as the reported heterogeneous noble metal catalysts.

Facile synthesis of supported Ru-Triphos catalysts for continuous flow application in selective nitrile reduction
The selective catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles represents an important but challenging transformation for many homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we report the efficient and modular solid-phase synthesis of immobilized Triphos-type ligands in very high yields, involving only minimal work-up procedures. The corresponding supported ruthenium-Triphos catalysts are tested in the hydrogenation of various nitriles. Under mild conditions and without the requirement of additives, the tunable supported catalyst library provides selective access to both primary amines and secondary imines. Moreover, the first application of a Triphos-type catalyst in a continuous flow process is presented demonstrating high catalyst life-time over at least 195 hours without significant activity loss.

A simple and efficient continuous flow methodology has been developed for hydrogenation and reductive deuteration of nitriles to yield primary amines and also valuable α,α-dideutero analogues. Raney nickel proved to be a useful catalyst for the transformation of a wide range of nitriles under reasonably mild conditions with excellent deuterium incorporation (>90 %) and quantitative conversion. Among known model compounds, three new deuterated primary amines were prepared. The large-scale synthesis of deuterated tryptamine was also carried out to deliver 1.1 g product under flow conditions.

A high performance catalyst of shape-specific ruthenium nanoparticles for production of primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds
The creation of metal catalysts with highly active surfaces is pivotal to meeting the strong economic demand of the chemical industry. Specific flat-shaped pristine fcc ruthenium nanoparticles having a large fraction of atomically active {111} facets exposed on their flat surfaces have been developed that act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the production of various primary amines at exceedingly high reaction rates by the low temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The high performance of the catalyst is attributed to the large fraction of metallic Ru serving as active sites with weak electron donating ability that prevail on the surface exposed {111} facets of flat-shaped fcc Ru nanoparticles. This catalyst exhibits a highest turnover frequency (TOF) of ca. 1850 h-1 for a model reductive amination of biomass derived furfural to furfurylamine and provides a reaction rate approximately six times higher than that of an efficient and selective support catalyst of Ru-deposited Nb2O5 (TOF: ca. 310 h-1).

Cobalt-based nanoparticles prepared from MOF-carbon templates as efficient hydrogenation catalysts
The development of efficient and selective nanostructured catalysts for industrially relevant hydrogenation reactions continues to be an actual goal of chemical research. In particular, the hydrogenation of nitriles and nitroarenes is of importance for the production of primary amines, which constitute essential feedstocks and key intermediates for advanced chemicals, life science molecules and materials. Herein, we report the preparation of graphene shell encapsulated Co3O4- and Co-nanoparticles supported on carbon by the template synthesis of cobalt-terephthalic acid MOF on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis. The resulting nanoparticles create stable and reusable catalysts for selective hydrogenation of functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic nitriles, and as well as nitro compounds to primary amines (>65 examples). The synthetic and practical utility of this novel non-noble metal-based hydrogenation protocol is demonstrated by upscaling several reactions to multigram-scale and recycling of the catalyst.

Highly Stable COF-Supported Co/Co(OH)2 Nanoparticles Heterogeneous Catalyst for Reduction of Nitrile/Nitro Compounds under Mild Conditions
Ordered nanoporosity in covalent organic framework (COF) offers excellent opportunity for property development. Loading nanoparticles (nPs) onto them is one approach to introducing tailor-made properties into a COF. Here, a COF–Co/Co(OH)2 composite containing about 16 wt% of 2 nPs is prepared on a N-rich COF support that catalyzes the release of theoretical equivalence of H2 from readily available, safe, and cheap NaBH4. Furthermore, the released H2 is utilized for the hydrogenation of nitrile and nitro compounds to amines under ambient conditions in a facile one-pot reaction. The COF “by choice” is built from “methoxy” functionalized dialdehydes which is crucial in enabling the complete retention of the COF structure under the conditions of the catalysis, where the regular Schiff bonds would have hydrolyzed. The N-rich binding pockets in the COF ensure strong nP–COF interactions, which provides stability and enables catalyst recycling. Modeling studies reveal the crucial role played by the COF in exposing the active facets and thereby in controlling the activation of the reducing agent. Additionally, via density functional theory, we provide a rational explanation for how these COFs can stabilize nanoparticles which grow beyond the limiting pore size of the COF and yet result in a truly stable heterogeneous catalyst – a ubiquitous observation. The study underscores the versatility of COF as a heterogeneous support for developing cheap and highly active nonnoble metal catalysts.

Versatile Dynamic Covalent Assemblies for Probing π-Stacking and Chirality Induction from Homotopic Faces
Herein we report for the first time the use of dynamic covalent reactions (DCRs) for building a π-stacking model system and further quantifying its substituent effects (SEs), which remain a topic of debate despite the rich history of stacking. A general DCR between 10-methylacridinium ion and primary amines was discovered, in which π-stacking played a stabilizing role. Facile quantification of SEs with in situ competing π-stacking systems was next achieved in the form of amine exchange exhibiting structural diversity by simply varying components. The linear correlation with σm in Hammett plots indicates the dominance of purely electrostatic SEs, and the additivity of SEs is in line with the direct interaction model. With α-chiral amines π-stacking within the adduct enabled chirality transfer from homotopic faces. The strategy of dynamic covalent assembly should be appealing to future research of probing weak interactions and manipulating chirality.

Electronic Effect of Ruthenium Nanoparticles on Efficient Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
Highly selective synthesis of primary amines over heterogeneous catalysts is still a challenge for the chemical industry. Ruthenium nanoparticles supported on Nb2O5 act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the low-temperature reductive amination of various carbonyl compounds that contain reduction-sensitive functional groups such as heterocycles and halogens with NH3 and H2 and prevent the formation of secondary amines and undesired hydrogenated byproducts. The selective catalysis of these materials is likely attributable to the weak electron-donating capability of Ru particles on the Nb2O5 surface. The combination of this catalyst and homogeneous Ru systems was used to synthesize 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan, a monomer for aramid production, from 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural without a complex mixture of imine byproducts.

MOF-derived cobalt nanoparticles catalyze a general synthesis of amines
The development of base metal catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds remains an important goal of chemical research. Here, we report that cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated by a graphitic shell are broadly effective reductive amination catalysts. Their convenient and practical preparation entailed template assembly of cobaltdiamine- dicarboxylic acid metal organic frameworks on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis under inert atmosphere.The resulting stable and reusable catalysts were active for synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 140 examples).The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, or nitro compounds, and molecular hydrogen under industrially viable and scalable conditions, offering cost-effective access to numerous amines, amino acid derivatives, and more complex drug targets.

Single-Site Cobalt Catalysts at New Zr12(μ3-O)8(μ3-OH)8(μ2-OH)6 Metal-Organic Framework Nodes for Highly Active Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes, Nitriles, and Isocyanides
We report here the synthesis of a robust and porous metal-organic framework (MOF), Zr12-TPDC, constructed from triphenyldicarboxylic acid (H2TPDC) and an unprecedented Zr12 secondary building unit (SBU): Zr12(μ3-O)8(μ3-OH)8(μ2-OH)6. The Zr12-SBU can be viewed as an inorganic node dimerized from two commonly observed Zr6 clusters via six μ2-OH groups. The metalation of Zr12-TPDC SBUs with CoCl2 followed by treatment with NaBEt3H afforded a highly active and reusable solid Zr12-TPDC-Co catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes, nitriles, and isocyanides to corresponding amines with excellent activity and selectivity. This work highlights the opportunity in designing novel MOF-supported single-site solid catalysts by tuning the electronic and steric properties of the SBUs.

Bifunctional N-Doped Co@C Catalysts for Base-Free Transfer Hydrogenations of Nitriles: Controllable Selectivity to Primary Amines vs Imines
The transfer hydrogenation of nitriles is an important and alternative strategy to produce primary amines or imines, both of which play a crucial role in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, developing highly active bifunctional catalyst system with controllable selectivity for these reactions still remains a huge challenge. In this study, we presented a bifunctional N-doped Co@C catalyst system (Co@NC) for the selective transfer hydrogenation of nitriles into either primary amines or imines. The Co@NC was prepared by the direct pyrolysis of an N-containing Co-MOF under an inert atmosphere, where the N-containing ligands could be transformed into highly graphitic N-doped carbon, endowing the catalysts with high-density special basic sites, while the Co2+ ions were reduced to uniform Co nanoparticles which were dispersed on or embedded in N-doped graphitic structures. Under base-free conditions with isopropyl alcohol as both proton donor and solvent, the optimized Co@NC-900 (obtained at 900 °C) catalyst could convert nitriles into primary amines or imines at will with surprising selectivities (mostly higher than 90%), depending on the solvent volume added to the reaction systems. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. The N-derived basic sites on Co@NC could play a role similar to that of the base additives, which not only inhibit the formation of polyamine or prevent the products stacked on the surface of catalysts but also effectively promote the transfer hydrogenation of nitriles. The generated corresponding primary imines could controllably attack the primary imine intermediates to form imines by adjusting the concentration of Co@NC. It is clear that this strategy offers a high-performance catalyst system for base-free transfer hydrogenations of nitriles to selectively produce primary amines vs imines.

Discovery of dually acting small-molecule inhibitors of cancer-resistance relevant receptor tyrosine kinases EGFR and IGF-1R
Novel benzo-anellated furo- and pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines with a 4-benzylamine substitution have been evaluated as inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Substituent effects on the determined protein kinase affinity have been discussed based on varied benzylamine residues at the differently substituted molecular scaffolds. Docking studies were carried out in order to explore the potential binding modes of the novel inhibitors. The observed activity data encouraged the measurement of the inhibition of the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), which is known to play an important role in the cancer-resistance development against EGFR inhibitors via receptor heterodimerizations with IGF-1R. We identified novel dual inhibitors of both kinases and report their first cancer cell growth inhibition data.

A method for the production of primary amines
The invention relates to the field of chemical industry and particularly relates to a method for preparing primary amine by using the raw materials including halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) and ammonia water (or formamide). The method comprises the following three steps: (1) imidization: 3,4-diarylfuran-2,5-diketone (I) reacts with ammonia (or formamide) and the like to obtain 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II); (2) N-hydrocarbylation: 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II) generates an N-hydrocarbylation reaction with halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) in the presence of alkali to obtain N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III); and (3) hydrolysis: N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III) is subjected to alkali hydrolysis to obtain primary amine and the generated 2,3-diaryl maleate is subjected to acid treatment and automatic ring closing to form 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone (I) which is subjected to imidization and directly applied to the N-hydrocarbylation reaction. The method provided by the invention has the characteristics that the 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone can be circularly used at a high recovery rate, the molar ratio of the raw materials is low, and the yield of the product primary amine is high.

Development of indole sulfonamides as cannabinoid receptor negative allosteric modulators
Existing CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) fall into a limited range of structural classes. In spite of the theoretical potential of CB1 NAMs, published in vivo studies have generally not been able to demonstrate the expected therapeutically-relevant CB1-mediated effects. Thus, a greater range of molecular tools are required to allow definitive elucidation of the effects of CB1 allosteric modulation. In this study, we show a novel series of indole sulfonamides. Compounds 5e and 6c (ABD1075) had potencies of 4 and 3?nM respectively, and showed good oral exposure and CNS penetration, making them highly versatile tools for investigating the therapeutic potential of allosteric modulation of the cannabinoid system.

Efficient chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles with alkyne-derived homogeneous supports
Catalytic chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides using palladium nanoparticles stabilized by alkyne derivatives was studied. A broad range of aromatic and aliphatic azides were smoothly reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields with a quite small amount of the catalyst. Hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropylazide gave 3-phenylpropylamine almost quantitatively with a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio (S/Pd) of 12,900 under 8?atm of H2. The reaction under 1?atm of H2also proceeded smoothly with an S/Pd of 1000. Several reduction-sensitive functional groups, such as carbonyl, halide, benzylic OH, and aliphatic nitro were well tolerated under the reaction conditions.

Tuneable hydrogenation of nitriles into imines or amines with a ruthenium pincer complex under mild conditions
The selective hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles into amines and imines is described. Using a ruthenium pincer complex, the selectivity towards amines or imines can be controlled by simple parameter changes. The reactions are conducted under very mild conditions between 50-100°C at 0.4 MPa H2 pressure without any additives at low catalytic loadings of 0.5-1 mol %, which results in quantitative conversions and high selectivity.

Design and synthesis of novel and highly-active pan-histone deacetylase (pan-HDAC) inhibitors
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitions are known to elicit anticancer effects. We designed and synthesized several HDAC inhibitors. Among these compounds, compound 40 exhibited a more than 10-fold stronger inhibitory activity compared with that of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) against each human HDAC isozyme in vitro (IC50 values of 40: HDAC1, 0.0038 μM; HDAC2, 0.0082 μM; HDAC3, 0.015 μM; HDAC8, 0.0060 μM; HDAC4, 0.058 μM; HDAC9, 0.0052 μM; HDAC6, 0.058 μM). The dose of the administered HDAC inhibitors that contain hydroxamic acid as the zinc-binding group may be reduced by 40. Because the carbostyril subunit is a time-tested structural component of drugs and biologically active compounds, 40 most likely exhibits good absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Thus, compound 40 is expected to be a promising therapeutic agent or chemical tool for the investigation of life process.

Discovery and structure-activity relationship of potent and selective covalent inhibitors of transglutaminase 2 for Huntington's disease
Tissue transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a multifunctional protein primarily known for its calcium-dependent enzymatic protein cross-linking activity via isopeptide bond formation between glutamine and lysine residues. TG2 overexpression and activity have been found to be associated with Huntington's disease (HD); specifically, TG2 is up-regulated in the brains of HD patients and in animal models of the disease. Interestingly, genetic deletion of TG2 in two different HD mouse models, R6/1 and R6/2, results in improved phenotypes including a reduction in neuronal death and prolonged survival. Starting with phenylacrylamide screening hit 7d, we describe the SAR of this series leading to potent and selective TG2 inhibitors. The suitability of the compounds as in vitro tools to elucidate the biology of TG2 was demonstrated through mode of inhibition studies, characterization of druglike properties, and inhibition profiles in a cell lysate assay.

Synthesis of unusual oxime ethers by reaction of tetranitromethane with B-alkylcatecholboranes
The reaction of tetranitromethane with B-alkylcatecholboranes leads to the formation of unusual dinitrooxime ethers. A tentative mechanism is provided, which suggests the involvement of extremely fast addition of alkyl radicals to tetranitromethane. The substitution of one of the nitro groups in the oxime ethers by nucleophiles (such as secondary amines, halogens and styrene) and by radicals generated from B-alkylcatecholboranes is reported.

Hydrogenation of nitrile in supercritical carbon dioxide: A tunable approach to amine selectivity
The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) on the hydrogenation of benzonitrile was investigated over Pd and other metal catalysts. Without any additive, benzonitrile was hydrogenated to benzylamine with high conversion (90.2%) and selectivity (90.9%) using the Pd/MCM-41 catalyst. A strong influence of CO2 pressure on the conversion and selectivity were observed. As the CO2 pressure increases, the conversion was increased, and after reaching the maximum at around 8-10 MPa, it decreased. Moreover, simply by tuning the CO2 pressure, it is possible to obtain benzylamine or dibenzylamine. For instance, at lower pressure CO2 acts as a protecting agent, leading to the formation of the primary amine, but at higher pressure, the yield of primary amine as well as the solubility of the imine intermediate in CO2 increases, which results high selectivity for dibenzylamine. A plausible mechanism has been proposed to show the role of CO2 on the selectivity toward primary and secondary amines. The results confirm that the presence of CO2 is mandatory for the formation of benzylamine with high selectivity. Furthermore, the other reaction parameters, such as reaction time, H2 pressure, temperature etc., also affect the conversion as well as selectivity of benzylamine. This process has been extended to the hydrogenation of a series of different nitrile compounds.
